Volquez or Pedro

[hankp101]

Which one do you think is a better bet for the remainder of this season for fantasy purposes? I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a trade that could net me Pedro, but I think I could get him to swap out Pedro for Volquez. Pedro's advantage in Ws (playing for the Mets instead of the Reds) would be big for me, but if Volquez can outperform him in the other three categories...What do you guys think?

It is not 2002. Take advantage of Volquez and his high IP count while his socket still has an arm in it. Pedro probably isn't finishing the season

Volquez by a lot

Volquez, by a lot, even though he's not nearly as good as his ERA shows.(obviously)

 

If you can get Volquez for the same amount you got Pedro for, you're either overpaying for Pedro or underpaying for Volquez, in which case you should turn around and flip him elsewhere.

this kid is fantastic and I don't know of many pitchers I'd trade him for

Shame on you for considering Pedro over Volquez.
